Weight today, after Carb Day: 178.8lbs
Overall Change: - 7.2 lbs
8am
Interesting that after both carb days my weight stayed exactly the same.
So after today I will be exactly halfway through this challenge - hooray! I have to confess that in the second half of yesterday, I felt pretty low and all I wanted to do was bail. But I didn't; I couldn't justify throwing in the towel after coming this far. I knew I'd feel better about it in the morning, and hey, here we are!
It feels weird to not have any math to go through...but yesterday was carb day again; same formulas as the first carb day, and today is shake day which is the same as Day 3. In fact, from here on in things stay pretty much the same. And tomorrow is cheat day! Hooray! But before any cheating can take place, I will post my measurements and results from week 1. Should be interesting...
And today is race day! I'm doing the Gorilla Run, a 5k race that you run in a big, hot, hairy, black gorilla suit. How cool is that? I almost wish I wasn't doing it so that I could go watch, 'cause it's going to look hilarious. Gonna sign off now and go put on my gorilla suit but I will post pics and more later on!

One more shake until cheat day, one more shake until cheat day, one more shake until cheat day...
I have spent most of today fantasizing about what I'm going to eat tomorrow. Isn't that silly? I mean, honestly, it's been SIX days of discipline. Pretty tough discipline, but still - six days! At the beginning of this program I thought fourteen would be pretty doable, but I am ready for a mental break. Doesn't help that I have spent multiple hours this weekend making and decorating cheesecakes!
Caramel Apple Cheesecake
New York Cheesecake
Mocha Bean Cheesecake
The Gorilla Run was a great time! There were 260+ gorillas dressed in goofy costumes: Village People, zombies, surfers, businessmen, wrestlers, Hanson brothers, you name it. I fully intend to drag my whole family out for this one next year! As for the run itself, it was HOT. I had to periodically take off my black latex gorilla hands and pour the sweat out of them...but the route was nice; it was a moderately challenging loop around the river valley. If I was really picky I'd point out that my gps thought it was closer to 6k...but who's counting?

Alrighty then, sliding into some serious grumpiness. Apparently. See, I don't actually feel irritated or angry but everyone around me seems to think I'm ready to spit nails. Here's the thing: tonight we went over to some friends' for dessert and board games and we brought two of the cheesecakes that I made this weekend...and everyone ate cheesecake (to rave reviews) and drank wine and I hung out and drank water. Joel says he thinks that's what put me over the edge...anyway, 12 more hours. I can do it. Every conversation with my husband seems to deteriorate into an argument in about 30 seconds so maybe it's time for me to remove myself from human company and go to bed. Grrr.
Measurements in the morning!
